Artists Under Hitler
'Artists Under Hitler' closely examines cases of artists who failed in their attempts to find accommodation in the Nazi regime as well as others whose desire for official acceptance was realised. They illuminate the complex cultural history of this period and provide haunting portraits of people facing excruciating choices and grave moral questions.
Manet and Modern Beauty
This stunning examination of the last years of Édouard Manet's life and career is the first book to explore the transformation of his style and subject matter in the 1870s and early 1880s. The name Manet often evokes the provocative, heroically scaled pictures he painted in the 1860s for the Salon, but in the late 1870s and early 1880s the artist produced quite a different body of work: stylish portraits of actresses and demimondaines, luscious still lifes, delicate pastels, intimate watercolors, and impressionistic scenes of suburban gardens and Parisian cafés. Often dismissed as too pretty and superficial by critics, these later works reflect Manet’s elegant social world, propose a rad...
Japan's Love for Impressionism
"This volume describes--from a new angle--the mutual fascination that developed between French and Japanese culture following the political opening of the island state during the mid-nineteenth century. Large-format illustrations of Impressionist masterpieces from collections in Japan demonstrate the love of Japanese artists and collectors for French impressionism"--Page 4 of cover.
Pioneers of the Global Art Market
By the turn of the twentieth century, Paris was the capital of the art world. While this is usually understood to mean that Paris was the center of art production and trading, this book examines a phenomenon that has received little attention thus far: Paris-based dealers relied on an ever-expanding international network of peers. Many of the city's galleries capitalized on foreign collectors' interest by expanding globally and proactively cultivating transnational alliances. If the French capital drew artists from around the world-from Cassatt to Picasso-the contemporary-art market was international in scope. Art dealers deliberately tapped into a growing pool of discerning collectors in no...
Kunst für alle!
1937 fand im gerade eröffneten "Haus der Deutschen Kunst" in München die erste große Verkaufsausstellung von Gegenwartskunst im Dritten Reich statt, die "Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung". Als zweites Ereignis des Münchener Kunstsommers 1937 folgte einige Tage später die Eröffnung der Femeschau "Entartete Kunst". Zum achtzigsten Jahrestag des inszenierten Kunstspektakels widmet sich dieses Buch der Popularisierung von Kunst und der Ästhetik der Politik im Dritten Reich. Zum Vorschein kommt eine von heute aus irritierende Spielart der bekannten Forderung "Kunst für alle" unter den Bedingungen der Diktatur: jenseits einer demokratischen Gesellschaft und jenseits der Freiheit der Kunst. Zu betrachten ist "Kunst" als ideologisch eingefärbtes Bildungsgut, als Volksfest mit Eventcharakter, als Betätigungsfeld für neue Mäzene, als Sammlerstück und Trophäe, als Prestigeobjekt von NS-Leistungsschauen, als Gegenstand öffentlicher Verehrung und Verachtung, als Kunst am Bau, als Kunsthandwerk und Volkskunst und schließlich als Objekt, das sich (fast) jeder leisten konnte.
Comment je peins un tableau
En 1958, Otto Dix rédige deux leçons de peinture pour la Washington School of Art, école d’art par correspondance autrefois basée à New York et aujourd’hui oubliée. Dans ces documents, publiés pour la première fois dans une traduction française, l’artiste expose des principes de peinture et de composition révélateurs de ses conceptions personnelles du travail pictural. Il y détaille aussi les principales étapes d’une technique qui a contribué au succès de ses oeuvres dans les années vingt. Cette précieuse source d information pour les conservateurs et les restaurateurs a légitimement retenu leur attention ; elle est aussi, pour les historiens d’art, un objet d’i...
Botanical Speculations
Ground-breaking scientific research and new philosophical perspectives currently challenge our anthropocentric cultural assumptions of the vegetal world. As humanity begins to grapple with the urgency imposed by climate change, reconsidering human/plant relationships becomes essential to grant a sustainable future on this planet. It is in this context that a multifaceted approach to plant-life can reveal the importance of ecological interconnectedness and lead to a more nuanced consideration of the variety of living organisms and ecosystems with which we share the planet. In Botanical Speculations, researchers, artists, art historians, and activists collaboratively map the uncharted territories of new forms of botanical knowledge. This book emerges from a symposium held at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in September 2017, and capitalizes on contemporary arts ability to productively unhinge scientific theories and certainties in order to help us reconsider unquestioned beliefs about this living world.

Modeling and Simulating Cardiac Electrical Activity
This book provides a thorough introduction to the topic of mathematical modeling of electrical activity in the heart, from molecular details of ionic channel dynamics to clinically derived patient-specific models. It discusses how cellular ionic models are formulated, introduces commonly used models and explains why there are so many different models available. The chapters cover modeling of the intracellular calcium handling that underlies cellular contraction as well as modeling molecular-level details of cardiac ion channels, and also focus on specialized topics such as cardiomyocyte energetics and signalling pathways. It is an excellent resource for experienced and specialised researchers in the field, but also biological scientists with a limited background in mathematical modelling and computational methods. Part of Biophysical Society-IOP series.
